This week's offerings offer a nostalgic feel - new tales emerge from Gotham City with a new adventure for Batman presented by the very talented Neil Gaiman and a Star Wars Roleplaying Game. I grew up on both of these series and can't wait to check them out!

Amazon.com ReviewBook DescriptionThis book looks awesome! Acclaimed best-selling author Neil Gaiman (The Sandman) joins a “who’s who” of talented artists in lending his unique voice to the Batman lore for this not to be missed Deluxe Edition hardcover collectible! Focusing on the story "Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?" from Batman #685 and Detective Comics #852, Gaiman joins artist Andy Kubert and inker Scott Williams for a story that shines a new light on the Batman saga. Batman: Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader? also collects Gaiman stories from Secret Origins #36, Secret Origins Special #1, and Batman Black And White #2. This anthology is not to be missed!

In true Batman tradition, Gotham City is plagued with crime and corruption, but one man has taken a stand against evil of all forms: the dark avenger known as Batman. But now the Dark Knight is dead; apparently fallen at the hands of dying god Darkseid.

I can’t wait to check out “Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader”. It is said to be the “likes of which Batman and his friends have never experienced before.” This promises to be an exciting and thrilling tale!

Product DescriptionClassic Star Wars game-play...The Rebellion Era Campaign Guide brings the Saga Edition rules to the time when tyranny and oppression mark the reign of the Galactic Empire, threatening to extinguish the last flames of freedom. In this dark time emerges an alliance of rebellious heroes intent on overthrowing the Emperor and restoring the glory of the Old Republic.This book covers the clasic Star Wars films: A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi. It also includes material from the Expanded Universe, as featured in novels and comic books. For players, it provides new character options for Rebel and fringe heroes. For Gamemasters, it offers adventure hooks, campaign seeds, and ready-to-use villains, creatures, droids, and vehicles.

I'm a Batman fan from my youth, so, we're talking the Lincoln administration...long time. I'm hopeful that in this work, BM is NOT, in fact, dead, but rises to purge the bad guys from power. I'd be devastated if anything ever happened to him. Tell me there's a happy ending!!!

About Me

My book, The Destineers Journal of Fantasy Nations, is an encyclopedic field guide of the various creatures in the fantasy world. There are, of course, the well known fairies, elves, and dragons, and some of the lesser recognized nations, like the Barbegazi, the Cloudwalkers, and, of course, the Butterfrogs.
My picture book, If Wishes Were Fishes, is now available on my sites, through the publisher 4RV Publishing, on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, 4 Love of Books & Art, and bookstores everywhere!

The Destineers Journal of Fantasy Nations...From Alchemist to Banshee, Bodach to dragon, and Yeti to Zombie, the authors give us a glimpse, sometimes with humor, sometimes with chills, of the inhabitants of the Nations of Fantasy. I recommend this guide for writers, readers, and everyone who loves fantasy novels and movies. Even those who aren't really into magical worlds will enjoy reading about the Dullahans, Mooncalves, and Thunderbirds.~Beverly Stowe McClure, Author (Amazon.com Review)
